UPDATE, 4:47 p.m. Just got back from UTSA. Going to start writing pretty quick here, so we’ll keep this one short and sweet — though she has not been in recent contact with the WAC, athletic director Lynn Hickey said the school will be aggressively pursuing membership in the league.

UPDATE: Though Ward will be given an opportunity to beat out walk-on Matthew Guevara at placekicker, Pleasanton coach Tab Dumont said Ward’s “No. 1 job” will be punting and kicking off. “You don’t see many high school kids who can line up and kick it through the end zone every time,” Dumont said. “That’s big.

Denton Guyer linebacker Jake Smith (6-0, 200) has committed to UTSA. He had a team-high 63 solo tackles to go with 30 assists, two sacks and one interception to help Guyer reach the Class 4A Division I semifinals.

Heard from a pretty strong source today (Wednesday) that UTSA has collected three more commitments recently: Clemens safety Joseph Lizcano, Marion cornerback Sean Hesler and Hutto cornerback Alondre Thorn. Haven’t heard back from the players, but their coaches said they were all San Antonio-bound. That gives UTSA seven commitments so far. Don’t know much about any of […]

Just wanted to toss out some remaining tidbits on the Jeremy Hall saga that I didn’t have room for in the print edition. In case you missed it, here’s the link to our story detailing how this three-star recruit fell into UTSA’s lap. http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/college/UTSA/Safety_joins_UTSAs_first_class_98578744.html The gist of it — Hall, a defensive back from Brenham, […]

Nothing has changed since last week’s press conference, when head coach Larry Coker said there was no set date for the start of practice.
